Yup no fake vents. Under panel is also installed. It collected while the car was parked. There is no way I sucked up that much water from a puddle. I drove the car very briefly when the original CEL came on and I am very mindful of avoiding deep water. Good news is it is raining here tonight and I started/revved the car with no issue. Let's hope it was a freak occurrence! It still scares me though!

^^^thats the filter covers for the k&n filters correct? I saw them on GTM's site the other day.

Idk if I'd be ok with a "freak" occurence. Something must have happened somewhere for all that water to collect up in there. That "freak" occurence could have been very costly. At this level of the game things like that shouldn't happen.

Good luck on finding n fixing the problem.

Those pre filters are very restrictive like 20 hp restrictive I only use mine if it's really wet out there's no way I'd use them all the time

weiboy718 04-28-2012 11:24 PM

Hmmmm. I don't feel any difference in power with or without the filter bags. I have a open vent on my bumper and I absolutely need to leave them on, I've also been through rain and splash of water and no issues yet. Op, this might be a good choice for you.

I feel it big time on my kit it lags longer and I only boost 5 psi where if it's off I boost 6

I was thinking about those filter socks, but I don't know if that would even help. The water had to have gotten in while I was parked, so I doubt the socks would prevent water from dripping in. I think my best bet is to create some sort of drip shield. It rained here last night do now I'm scared to start the car!

That filter bag does repell small amounts of water like drips, car wash, mini splash etc. I'm sure it can help out a little, they cost about $30 bucks each or so at Amazon. I would say something you can consider during the rainy seasons.

That's probably a good idea. I will have to look into those. I really don't want to have to worry about collecting water every time the car sits in the rain.
